Don’t use vinyl flooring I have tried that and my bunny couldn’t run on it, it was too slippery. Is it high carpet? If it is low pile or no pile some rabbits are okay with it. Maybe you could try replacing the tarp for foam puzzle pieces, you would need to put his mats and blankets down on top of it to make sure he doesn’t eat it because eating…[Read more]

Would it be a good idea after all treatments have been done to reduce his pen size (He’s free roam in the living room) so he trusts his environnement again and so I can sit next to the cage and in the cage reading a book witouth touching him and witouth him running away in his hiding spots ?

He does not come to me since he’s been I’ll, neither…[Read more]

Google diy rabbit toys, you can make toys with a lot of “trash”.

Good luck with your brood.  Seems like it is all still fairly new, you’ll find a groove and it won’t take as long.

Cinnamon Bun, I’m not sure why permethrin isnt considered safe. The slight skin irritation shouldnt be enouh to discourage the use of it, because it is highly effective against fur mites. I think its about suspected risk of it penetrating the blod-brain barrier (which is what fipronil does and the reason why fipronil is potentially deadly), but to…[Read more]

Yes…

I don’t see much progress after 4 days…

He shakes his head more than ever, still is over grooming himself, shy and stressed like never…

I know he’ll become social and cuddly again, but it just suck that after 2 weeks of work, he’s not more afraid of me than ever. He hates his ear treatment so much…

Sometimes I don’t get bunnies,…[Read more]

Thanks, Bam! I have just looked into permethrin. My vet is rabbit-savvy so I trust her with my bun’s treatment… we only apply it topically in tiny amounts about one time a day. Why isn’t permethrin safe? Is it due to slight skin irritation? ♡

Also what about nystatin and neomycin? Are they safe on buns?

@CinnamonBun, Odermyl contains permethrin, which is an anti-parasitic that’s not considered completely safe for rabbits. Odermyl also has an antifungal component (nystatin) and an antibiotic (neomycin).

A picture of your set-up would make brainstorming very helpful! You can use the “Add Media” button to upload, then insert the image into your post. Make sure it is a ‘regular’ image file, like a .jpg. Sometimes Ctrl+C >> Ctrl+V actually works too into the Reply To: text box itself, but not always.

Kicking out litter is a common thing and to an…[Read more]

While it can be a good tactic if the “new location” vibe allows for those initial dates to go well, if you continue to do it whenever tension arise, you will not be providing the rabbits the opportunity to communicate and begin figuring out their dynamic in a space they are both familiar with. The benefit of maintaining the same “neutral” space is…[Read more]

Indeed the vet recommended teeth removal but they are note an exotic pet vet and requested a quote from one they knew. The quote came back at £1,000. They are looking for a second quote. Now if I have their incisors removed, where can I find advice on care & wellbeing for rabbits without incisors? I assume lots of things change for them,…[Read more]

If he is trying to get away from you it’s not because he hates you. It’s a lot more likely that he doesn’t want to be held and that he now, after being with you for a week, feels confident enough to show you what he wants. Most pets are very cautious and take care not to make a fuss when they’re in a new environment. If your bun now lets other…[Read more]

Hi and welcome! Jinx is adorable!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Okay, thank you so much for the help 🙂 </p>

Yes, it does look like fur mites. My vet told me to treat the crusty, dandruff spots on my bun with oridermyl. I’ve read the composition and it does not include fipronil. Has anyone heard of it? He is also on revolution for mites.

I’m so, so sorry, please don’t feel stupid or guilty! I know it’s really hard right now… your pain is still so brand new and it takes time, love and patience to heal. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I lost the love of my life, Binkie, about 4 months ago to GI stasis, and I’m still grieving and my heart aches terribly. It was so traumatic.…[Read more]

This sounds very familiar, especially the “RRF” you mentioned 😛 . She shoots us that annoyed look often. She’ll briefly tolerate a head rub or two only if there’s definitely something in it for her. She definitely things she’s the boss. I think as mod DanaHM mentioned above, playing harder to get might be a strategy. It may not be that she’s…[Read more]
